I feel like I've hit a goldmine!!! ... but I'm skeptical. I just found a group of .com domains by searching a popular product in a .com checker. 10 out of the 30 domains I checked are AVAILABLE. These are premium, letter-for-letter keywords that Google Keyword reports as having over 500,000 exact searches per month. I went to Estibot.com and typed in the available domain names. Here's where I was shocked. It showed traffic for these keywords through the roof, and it estimated the domains at the following prices: $690, $530, $940, $2300, $4400 (!!!) Not only that, but there are 5 others that I've yet to even plug in! What would you do? Is the hype undeserved, or did I really just stumble upon something big?
estimates are just that, estimates. another way of saying " we guess these domains are worth x". and take anything about traffic/worth with a grain of salt. They could have some value but don't count on it.
sounds like you could have TM issues with the domains if its a product name. as for Estibot, it's an automated domain appraisal tool, so take the appraisals with a grain of salt.
Or with fourteen kilos of salt, I really am not a fan to be honest. I have never agreed with an EstiBot appraisal yet, they either shoot massively over the top or largely under what they could actually make. Treat with extreme caution!
Estibot overvalues by a lot! Believe in yourself and check out recent sales of a similiar keyword domain.
I was going to make a thead about estibot. They have a .COM at $250 but the same domain with a .NET at $1000. That doesn't make any sense. For me, estibot is a way to check out traffic to a domain name. DO NOT RELY ON JUST GOOGLE'S KEYWORD TOOL!!!!!! I wasted money on a domain name thinking it got 30,000 uniques/day when it really only got about 30 uniques/day. Waste of time building the site. Waste of money on the domain. :angry: Instead, use the Google Keyword tool to get ideas. Back it up with keywordspy. Back it up with overture/word tracker. Back it up with a few other tools of your choice. Then, use estibot. If all these tools look good, you may have a real winner on your hands.
Remember, estibot is not offering to buy these from you. So they really do not stand behind their numbers.
Estibot is not accurate sorry to say this but its no where near accurate - you need an appraisal from a real human being, otherwise estibot is wrong most of the time. I had a website once which estibot measured to be $1400, but it was only worth $80 (from human appraisals).
